Shoot Real-time HDR Videos on Your iPhone Using Flare!

HDR (High Dynamic Range) involves different snapshots of the same subject (scene) with different exposure levels and then these photos are layered by the software and best visual features from all these photos are combined to create a single photo that has the most detail (extracted from all the earlier captured images with different exposure levels) - all of this is done automatically by the software. HDR is one of the most touted features on the iPhone 4 by Apple. Although, you can force enable this features on iPhone 3GS as well as we covered in

But all of this is for the HDR for the images. So, how about some HDR tricks for the video! This is something that is achieved by a new application Flare available in App Store that allows to shoot HDR videos with real-time processed output on the screen. End result looks quite impressive. Users can also share these video directly from the application on web services such as Facebook, Twitter.
